Bizzare as that may seem it is correct for domestic support debts.

Subject: [cdcbaa] Family law collections and the Stay questions
1. Fees were awarded to ex-spouse in a family child support hearing where
child support was also awarded. Debtor is behind on child support and has
also not yet paid the atty fees.
2. I understand that under section 362(b)(2)(B), and (C), the Stay does
not apply to the continued collections of child support payments.
3. Ex-spouse's attorney says that the Stay does not apply to the
collection of his fees (but that he will seek a comfort order for relief
from Stay in any event).
I see nothing in the code that says the Stay does not apply to his fees. I
think it does, and I think he needs to get relief from Stay. [I know the
fees are not dischargeable because we are in a Chapter 7 (and debtor does
not want to be in a Chapter 13 where they could be discharged).]
Am I correct that the atty has to get relief from Stay to collect his fees
if he doesn't want to wait for the case to close? Or can he just proceed to
garnish my client's wages? Atty says that the wage garnishment order is
already in place with respect to the child support, and that he does not
need to do anything else to proceed with collections on either the child
support or his fees.
Further, atty and I have been discussing a payment plan for his fees and he
says if my client does not pay timely pursuant to the agreed plan, then he
will proceed to charge interest and will pursue other collection activity.
Can interest on atty's awarded fees accrue during the bankruptcy case while
the Stay is in effect, presuming the Stay is in effect?
Lastly, one time in another case I was able to get a bank account levy for
child support released during the course of the bk because I told the person
at the LA County Child Support services that the Stay was in place and that
their collection activity was in violation of the Stay. (I did not know
about 362(b)(2)(B), (C) at the time and apparently, neither did he.) Did I
do something wrong there?
Can someone provide me with some guidance here? Mainly I want to know:
1. Does atty need to get relief from Stay to collect on his atty fees
awarded in connection with a child support hearing?
2. Am I correct that ex-spouse can garnish debtor's wages for child support
without getting relief from Stay?
3. Can atty charge Debtor interest during the course of the bk if Debtor
does not pay the atty fees until after the bk is closed?
Thank you in advance.
